SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket to launch powerful telecom satellite

A SpaceXFalcon 9 rocket will launch the Telstar 18 Vantage communications satellite, also known as Apstar 5C, from Cape Canaveral, Florida, during a launch window that starts at 11:28 pm on September 10. Just like the Telstar 19V, the spacecraft hitched a ride into space atop a brand-new "Block 5" booster.

Its Ku-band payloads of HTS spot beams and focused regional beams will provide customers operating in Southeast Asia, Mongolia, Australia & New Zealand, and the North Pacific Ocean with greater choice and flexibility to serve today's bandwidth intensive applications.
